Typical basin-fill sequences and basin migration in Yanshan, North China--Response to Mesozoic tectonic transition     

LI Zhong  Liu Shaofeng  Zhang Jinfang  WANG Qingchen 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2004,47(2)

Basin-fill sequences of Mesozoic typical basins in the Yanshan area, North China may be divided into four phases, reflecting lithosphere tectonic evolution from flexure (T3), flexure with weak rifting (J1+2), tectonic transition (J3), and rifting (K). Except the first phase, the other three phases all start with lava and volcaniclastic rocks, and end with thick coarse clastic rocks and/or conglomerates, showing cyclic basin development rather than simple cyclic rift mechanism and disciplinary basin-stress change from extension to compression in each phase. Prototype basin analysis, based on basin-fill sequences, paleocurrent distribution and depositional systems, shows that single basin-strike and structural-line direction controlling basin development had evidently changed from east-west to northeast in Late Jurassic in the Yanshan area, although basin group still occurred in east-west zonal distribution. Till Early Cretaceous, main structural-line strike controlling basins just turned to northeast by north in the studied area.  相似文献   

安徽铜陵铜官山矿区中生代岩浆-热液过程：来自岩石包体及其寄主岩的证据   总被引：18，自引：11，他引：18  

杜杨松秦新龙  田世洪 《岩石学报》2004,20(2):339-350

安徽铜陵铜官山矿区的燕山期中酸性-酸性小侵入岩体在时间上和空间上与区内的层控矽卡岩型铜(金)矿床密切相关。在这些小侵入岩体中，特别是在老庙基、小铜官山和金口岭岩体中，产有二长质到闪长质的同源包体、角闪石堆积岩包体和黑云母片岩残余包体。对这三类岩石包体及其寄主岩进行了详细的岩石学和矿物学研究以及单矿物氧同位素分析，同时收集了相关的岩石化学和地球化学资料，为阐明矿区岩浆-热液过程提供了依据。分析结果表明，闪长岩和辉石岩包体的(^87r／^86Sr)，为0．7070～0．7073，εM(t)为-9．7，而石英二长闪长岩主岩(^87r／^86Sr)。为0．7072～0．7077，εNd(t)为-10．6～-11．9。铜官山矿区堆积岩包体中的堆积晶、同源包体和寄主岩中的斑晶以及同源包体及寄主岩中的基质的矿物结晶温度分属890～970℃，730～755℃和675～730℃三个区间，对应的深度为24～29km，9～15km和4～6km。它们分别代表了深位岩浆房、浅位岩浆房和岩浆侵位处矿物结晶的温度和深度深位岩浆房的深度对应于岩石圈中下地壳硅镁层的深度，而浅位岩浆房的深度对应于岩石圈中-新元古界浅变质岩系的深度从宕石包体及其寄主岩锶、钕同位素以及岩石学和矿物学资料来看，深位岩浆房中的岩浆可能是由底侵的碱性玄武岩浆与下地壳硅镁层发生相互作用形成的，而浅位岩浆房中的岩浆可能是由来自深位岩浆房的演化岩浆与中-新元古界浅变质岩系发生相互作用形成的。二长质同源包体与黑云母片岩残余包体过渡，有时闪长质同源包体与寄主岩过渡，相互之间的界线模糊不清。角闪石堆积岩包体中金属氧化物和硫化物的共存表明，在堆积岩结晶时已有相当数量的铁、铜和硫溶解在演化的岩浆中。由此可以推断，已初步富集铁、铜和硫的演化岩浆与深度同浅位岩浆房相当且富合成矿元素的变质岩发生同化混染作用，可以富集足够的成矿物质以形成铜官山矿区的矽卡岩型铜铁硫化物矿床，矿区同源包体中斜长石的δ^18OSMOW‰值为9．0～9．2，寄主岩中斜长石和石英为9．4～9．9，矽卡岩中石榴石和石英为3．92～11．84，矿石中磁铁矿和石英为3．84～5.85，而相应的δ^18H2O‰值在寄主岩中为6．87，矽卡岩中为6.85～6.89，矿石中为8．18～12．64。此外，在寄主岩及其岩石包体中同时产有熔融包裹体、熔融-流体包裹体和流体包裹体，并能见到不混溶包裹体。这些事实结合矿物平衡地质温度计计算结果和收集的包裹体测温资料，表明矿区的岩浆-热液过程可以分为：1)岩浆结晶；2)岩浆流体出溶和出溶流体演化(大致对应于矽卡岩化)；和3)成矿热液活动(对应于铜金矿化)三个阶段。  相似文献   

Occurrence of the Indian genus Hemibos (Bovini, Bovidae, Mammalia) at the Early–Middle Pleistocene transition in Italy     

Bienvenido Martínez-Navarro  Maria Rita Palombo 《Quaternary Research》2004,61(3):314-317

The morphology of the horn-core structure and section shape of the Bos galerianus type specimen, as well as the general anatomy of the frontal and occipital areas of the skull, suggest that the skull is better attributed to the Indian genus Hemibos. This finding contributes to our understanding of faunal dispersal patterns into Europe at the Early–Middle Pleistocene transition.  相似文献   

Late-glacial and Holocene vegetation and climatic history of the Cass Basin, central South Island, New Zealand     

Matt S. McGlone  Chris S.M. Turney  Janet M. Wilmshurst 《Quaternary Research》2004,62(3):267-279

Lithology, pollen, macrofossils, and stable carbon isotopes from an intermontane basin bog site in southern New Zealand provide a detailed late-glacial and early Holocene vegetation and climate record. Glacial retreat occurred before 17,000 cal yr B.P., and tundra-like grassland–shrubland occupied the basin shortly after. Between 16,500 and 14,600 cal yr B.P., a minor regional expansion of forest patches occurred in response to warming, but the basin remained in shrubland. Forest retreated between 14,600 and 13,600 cal yr B.P., at about the time of the Antarctic Cold Reversal. At 13,600 cal yr B.P., a steady progression from shrubland to tall podocarp forest began as the climate ameliorated. Tall, temperate podocarp trees replaced stress-tolerant shrubs and trees between 12,800 and 11,300 cal yr B.P., indicating sustained warming during the Younger Dryas Chronozone (YDC). Stable isotopes suggest increasing atmospheric humidity from 11,800 to 9300 cal yr B.P. Mild (annual temperatures at least 1°C higher than present), and moist conditions prevailed from 11,000 to 10,350 cal yr B.P. Cooler, more variable conditions followed, and podocarp forest was completely replaced by montane Nothofagus forest at around 7500 cal yr B.P. with the onset of the modern climate regime. The Cass Basin late-glacial climate record closely matches the Antarctic ice core records and is in approximate antiphase with the North Atlantic.  相似文献   

The magmatic–hydrothermal transition—evidence from quartz phenocryst textures and endoskarn abundance in Cu–Zn skarns at the Empire Mine, Idaho, USA     

Zhaoshan Chang  L.D. Meinert 《Chemical Geology》2004,210(1-4):149-171

Information about the magmatic to hydrothermal transition is preserved in late-stage features of quartz phenocrysts and endoskarn alteration in some Cu–Zn skarn deposits such as the Empire Mine in Idaho. Important features include: (1) quartz phenocrysts with strong resorption textures such as vermicular zones of igneous groundmass cutting primary quartz cathodoluminescence banding, (2) anomalous amounts of endoskarn (more than 50% of mineralized rock), (3) high F activities as evidenced by fluorite as an accessory mineral in igneous rocks, in alteration assemblages, and in fluid inclusions and by high F in hydroxyl sites in igneous biotite and amphibole, and (4) direct association of Zn, which normally is deposited distally at low temperature, with Cu in proximal locations and in endoskarn. These features are explained by the following model: (1) F lowers the solidus temperature of the magma, thus changing the timing, temperature, and duration of hydrothermal fluid exsolution. (2) Upon magmatic vapor saturation the F-rich hydrothermal fluids form bubbles that adhere to quartz phenocrysts and chemically corrode/tunnel into the quartz forming vermicular resorption textures. (3) F-rich hydrothermal fluids also promote the formation of endoskarn; silicic rocks are attacked by F-rich fluids in the same sense that carbonate wall rocks are dissolved by weakly to moderately acidic hydrothermal fluids. (4) Low fluid exsolution temperature facilitated by high F activity promotes high Zn/Cu ratios in proximal locations due to the solubility of Zn relative to Cu at lower temperatures. This model may be applicable at other localities such as the world-class Cu–Zn skarn Antamina mine, as well as some tin and rapakivi granites.  相似文献   

The influence of Cr on the garnet–spinel transition in the Earth''s mantle: experiments in the system MgO–Cr₂O₃–SiO₂ and thermodynamic modelling     

Stephan Klemme   《Lithos》2004,77(1-4):639-646

The position of the transition from spinel peridotite to garnet peridotite in a simplified chemical composition has been determined experimentally at high pressures and high temperatures. The univariant reaction MgCr₂O₄+2Mg₂Si₂O₆=Mg₃Cr₂Si₃O₁₂+Mg₂SiO₄, has a negative slope in P–T space between 1200 °C and 1600 °C. The experimental results, combined with assessed thermodynamic data for MgCr₂O₄, MgSiO₃ and Mg₂SiO₄ give the entropy and enthalpy of formation of knorringite garnet (Mg₃Cr₂Si₃O₁₂). Thermodynamic calculations in simplified chemical compositions indicate that Cr shifts the garnet-in reaction to much higher pressures than previously anticipated. Moreover, in Cr-bearing systems a pressure–temperature field exists where garnet and spinel coexist. The width of this divariant field strongly depends on the Cr/(Cr+Al) of the system.  相似文献   

Granulite and pyroxenite xenoliths from the Deccan Trap: insight into the nature and composition of the lower lithosphere beneath cratonic India     

A.G. Dessai  A. Markwick  H. Downes 《Lithos》2004,78(3):263-290

Granulite and pyroxenite xenoliths in lamprophyre dykes intruded during the waning stage of Deccan Trap volcanism are derived from the lower crust beneath the Dharwar craton of Western India. The xenolith suite consists of plagioclase-poor mafic granulites (55% of the total volume of xenoliths), plagioclase-rich felsic granulites (25%), and ultramafic pyroxenites and websterites (20%) with subordinate wehrlites. Rare spinel peridotite xenoliths are also present, representing mantle lithosphere. The high Mg #, low SiO₂/Al₂O₃ and low Nb/La (<1) ratios suggest that the protoliths of the mafic granulites broadly represent cumulates of sub-alkaline magmas. All of the granulites are peraluminous and light rare-earth element-enriched. The felsic granulites may have resulted from anatexis of the mafic lower crustal rocks; thus, the mafic granulites are enriched in Sr whereas the felsic ones are depleted. Composite xenoliths consisting of mafic granulites traversed by veins of pyroxenite indicate intrusion of the granulitic lower crust by younger pyroxenites. Petrography and geochemistry of the latter (e.g. presence of phlogopite) indicate the metasomatised nature of the deep crust in this region.Thermobarometric estimates from phase equilibria indicate equilibration conditions between 650 and 1200 °C, 0.7-1.2 GPa suggestive of lower crustal environments. These estimates provide a spatial context for the sampled lithologies thereby placing constraints on the interpretation of geophysical data. Integration of xenolith-derived P-T results with Deep Seismic Soundings (DSS) data suggests that the pyroxenites and websterites are transitional between the lower crust and the upper mantle. A three-layer model for the crust in western India, derived from the xenoliths, is consistent with DSS data. The mafic nature of this hybrid lower crust contrasts with the felsic lower crustal composition of the south Indian granulite terrain.  相似文献   

Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic transition in Kuqa Depression-Tianshan, Northwest China: Evidence from sandstone detrital and geochemical records   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Succeeding to multiply collisions of different blocks in Late Paleozoic[1―5], complex intracontinental structural deformation occurred in the Tianshan area during Mesozoic-Cenozoic[6―16], which controlled coeval basin-range evolution and resulted in intensive modi- fication and adjustment of the Paleozoic oil-gas reser- voirs[17―19]. The Kuqa Depression is a secendary struc- tural unit of the Tarim basin, in which Mesozoic- Ce- nozoic deposits occur in thickness of 6000―7000 m. The Kuq…  相似文献   

DEFORESTATION IN NORTHEAST THAILAND, 1975–91: RESULTS OF A GENERAL STATISTICAL MODEL     

Gadsaraporn Wannitikul 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2005,26(1):102-118

Using a general statistical model, this study attempts to characterise the trend of deforestation in the northeast region (Isan) of Thailand between 1975 and 1991, a period when the kingdom had sustained high rates of economic growth and steady increases in population. Using data obtained directly from government bodies on the 17 provinces comprising this heavily deforested region, the study examines the correlations between forest area and a set of six variables: population density, agricultural area, real per capita income, accumulated irrigated area, agricultural credit levels, and distance from Bangkok, the national political and economic centre. It also considers the effect of the two logging bans instituted in 1979 and since 1989. The study found a negative correlation between forest area and population density in particular, followed in ranking by agricultural credit, per capita income, the logging bans and distance from Bangkok. Viewed together with more recent data showing that rates of deforestation in the kingdom as a whole have slowed and appear to be stabilising, these results also suggest the beginnings in the 1990s of a forest transition – from an industrial to a post‐industrial stage in forest utilisation – in Thailand.  相似文献   

High-T phase transition of synthetic ANaB(LiMg)CMg5Si8O22(OH)2 amphibole: an X-ray synchrotron powder diffraction and FTIR spectroscopic study     

Gianluca Iezzi  Mario Tribaudino  Giancarlo Della Ventura  Fabrizio Nestola  Fabio Bellatreccia 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2005,32(7):515-523

The synthetic amphibole Na_0.95(Li_0.95Mg_1.05)Mg₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂ was studied in situ at high-T, using IR OH-stretching spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. At room-T the sample has P2₁ /m symmetry, as shown by the FTIR spectrum. It shows in the OH region two well-defined and intense absorptions at 3,748 and 3,712 cm⁻¹, respectively, and two minor bands at 3,667 and 3,687 cm⁻¹. The main bands are assigned to the two independent O–H groups in the primitive structure. The two minor bands evidencing the presence of small amount of vacant A-site (^A□_0.05). With increasing T, these bands shift continuously and merge into a unique absorption at high temperature. A change as a function of increasing T is revealed by the evolution of the refined unit-cell parameters, whose trend shows a transition to C2/m at about 320–330°C. The spontaneous scalar strain, fitted with a tricritical 2–6 Landau potential, gives a T _c of 325(10)°C (β parameter = 0.27). Comparison with the second-order P2₁ /m ⇔ C2/m phase transition at 255°C for synthetic amphibole ^ANa_0.8^B(Na_0.8Mg_1.2)^CMg₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂ indicates that the substitution of Na with Li at the B-sites strongly affects the thermodynamic character and the T _c of the phase transition. The comparison of LNMSH amphiboles with cummingtonitic ones shows that the high-T thermodynamic behaviour is affected by A-site occupancy.  相似文献
